you have to substitiute volume of the ballon
Answer:

Explanation:
The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.

Unfortunately, Coulomb's Law is valid for points charges only, and the rod is not a point charge.
In this case, we have to choose an infinitesimal portion on the rod, which is basically a point, and calculate the force exerted by this point, then integrate this small force (dF) over the entire rod.
We will choose an infinitesimal portion from a distance 'x' from the origin, and the length of this portion will be denoted as 'dx'. The charge of this small portion will be 'dq'.
Applying Coulomb's Law:

The direction of the force on 'q' is to the right, since both charges are positive, and they repel each other.
Now, we have to write 'dq' in term of the known quantities.

Now, substitute this into 'dF':

Now we can integrate dF over the rod.

Explanation:
<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>
According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:
(1)
Where:
is the impulse
is the change in momentum
is the final momentum of the ball with mass
and final velocity (to the right) 
is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left) 
So:
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
<h3>b) Time </h3>
This time can be calculated by the following equations, taking into account the ball undergoes a maximum compression of approximately
:
(6)
(7)
Where:
is the acceleration
is the length the ball was compressed
is the time
Finding
from (7):
(8)
(9)
(10)
Substituting (10) in (6):
(11)
Finding
:
(12)
<h3>c) Force applied to the ball by the bat </h3>
According to Newton's second law of motion, the force
is proportional to the variation of momentum
in time
